I need a band so I can start justifying things to myself and the other half with the word "gigging"

+1, I hate the feeling of having nice gear but nowhere but my room to play it.. I mean its fine having nice gear but somehow I feel guilty about not being in a band.

I tried using "lesser" guitars for gigging, but I get frustrated when they don't come up to scratch.  I'm no pro, nor stinking rich, but Mrs Twinfan and myself don't have kids or expensive holidays so my spare cash goes on my toys.  I've built up a bit of a collection over the years and some are leaving to make way for the new McCarty so it'll cost me nothing in reality.

A benefit of being a little bit older, having worked for a few years, and working up the guitar ladder I guess.

Don't feel guilty about it Tom - enjoy the kit you've got  :)

Besides, you could look at it this way, I followed the link in your sig the other day, and listened to a lot of your recordings - thoroughly enjoyed them... Even if you're not in a band at the moment, you are "getting out" there with your music.  :D

I thought this was going to be some adult content confession (it sounded like a good option to me!). 

Fantasy rather than confession, surely?  :? :wink:

Was anyone else under the impression that Twinfan's name was to suggest he was a fan of the Fender Twin? :oops:

A few people have asked that question, but I've never owned a Fender Twin.  Nor GAS'd for one.  It actually came from the love of V-Twin motorbikes, mainly Ducatis.  Which are L-Twins, but we won't go into that now.

I guess I've justified it for my guitar collection now  :oops:

Everyone should know that by now. The amount of times people have asked if its because of your duplicate guitars has yielded the same answer looots of times.

i don't really have a problem with it... i'd love to be in a band (which played stuff i liked), but i'm not going to do without stuff i want just because i'm not.

You know I'm always impressed by your success with the ladies, Johnny.  I thought you might have done the twins thing at some point.  :wink:
